I searched for techniques to detect programs that infinite loop given both a specific input and an estimated time of completion. Moshe Jacobson on git.unix.linux stepped up to the plate and provided some useful bash code that might just do the trick. For a completely different approach to the problem, Patrick O’Leary suggested the fault tolerant shell, ftsh. This research shell makes failures a first-class concept. I dropped by Alex and Elysia’s new apartment in the evening for tasty ribs, salad, and ice cream. They moved in just a few weeks ago. It was nice to get out of the apartment for a bit and just hang out.
